and the sound of clipping nails makes my skin crawl.

That is such an odd thing to hate. It's just a "clicking" sound isn't it? I can see nails on a chalkboard or the like but a short click?

My MIL hates the sound too.

speak for yourself

Ladies man here

Says the one sleeping on the couch....by himself....

I think most of your kids are old enough to be cutting there own toe nails...?

minisnick cuts his own finger nails but he refuses to cut his toe nails....hence the epic meltdowns when we have to do it.

minisnick sat at the diner table last night for over an hr and a half refusing to eat the stuffed peppers (he usually loves them). He ate the peas and some of the rice. Mr snick wrapped the plate up and put in the fridge. Minisnick's diner tonight is the food he refused to eat last night....unless he wants it for a snack before then.

Some of you might remember my third kid's trip to the NICU at the beginning of this year. I just thought I'd post a "where are they now" update:

He's doing just fine.

Mini-Dex #2 can't say upside down. She say's suppie-dow.

Junior can never say "ridiculous." She always pronounces it "ridicklious."

well that was a short adventure with tumbling class for minisnick. The teacher changed up the schedule and moved his class time from 6pm to 4pm. I am just leaving work at 4pm, so that's not going to happen. Bummer too because he enjoyed it.

I hate that. So many of these activities are only available if you have a SAH parent anymore, but then they charge out the ass for them because there are only a handful of kids there.

My kids are in gymnastics classes on Tuesday and Thursday and they start at 4:30. Mrs Dex ends up going to work early so she can leave early in the afternoon. Without a flexible job like that my kids wouldn't be able to do it.

^ or family nearby. we have neither situation. So it looks like minisnick will have to wait until Tball in the spring. Basketball around here starts at 3rd grade.

So it was 0545 and I got up from bed and found #1 asleep on the couch. My couch. When I woke her up and asked why she was there, she told me that it was because her brother keeps waking her up. When I told her that she needed to go back in her own bed, she began to freak out. So 8 left her there for the remained of this morning.

looking back I was very fortunate for 8 years to have a 5 mile commute to and from work, if I hadn't there would have been no way my kids could have done any sports or anything similar...

I'm on the downhill side of that stuff, but I still have one that is doing soccer, its a total BITCH to get back home for a 5:30 practice time.. I should be able to deduct the HOT Lanes tolls since I am coaching other peoples kids who are brought by their nanny's / opaire's (no clue how to spell that)

opaire's (no clue how to spell that)

Au pair(s)

 

[MA_PE]

as in "Miss, that's a nice au pair you got there."

[Road Guy]

we have 2 kids on the soccer team that get picked up by Au Pairs (thanks!) but they never get out of the car...

 

[engineergurl]

my sister used to say I was her Au Pair. I used to say "I'm my nieces nanny."
